            Yea,,I loved it.

            The casino's never knew what hit'em in the beginning.

            What a sweet deal for the 'Management' of the team

            45% went to the investors
            45% went to the management
            10% went to the students

                      What system did they use?

                      I'm interested in BlackJack systems - I have run a few craps through a C++ coded simulation and seem some cool results.

                      Anyone suggest some publically known complex counting systems?

                          Dusen - basically what they did is have one person sit at the table and bet small amounts but card count at the same time...once the deck went into their favor, they would signal to one of their team members who would then sit down and bet huge amounts. i highly suggest reading the book - very enjoyable - can't wait for the movie.

                                      The casinos probably released it trying to get b/j to blow up like poker by glamourizing it.
